In reply to: Kathy Scanlin 's message, "surgery for VIN" on Friday, October 20, 12:25:43pm

I am scheduled for a CUSA also, I can't find anything online about this form of surgery. How did it go? I have had a couple of laser surgerys (awful post-op pain) and the doctor said this CUSA will not be as bad. I do not know if he only meant that it does not burn the skin and not so "messy" afterward. He said I would still be out of work a couple weeks or more like the last laser surgery. I do not know why if this surgery is so much better. Is it painful after, did you have to lay spread-eagle for 2 weeks? It looks like you will be the one with all the answers you needed in October. Please let me know, I am sooo nervous and feel like the doctor did not really explain it. Thanks, and I hope you healed nicely.

I have no medical training but as far as I have been able to learn -cusa C-cavitron U-ultrasonic S-surgical A-aspirator is the machine that uses water that is agitated enough to cause the breaking apart of cellular structure and sucks it away with a needle leaving them with enough material for pathology! My GYN-ONC explained it like this- remember when you fell off your bike and skinned your knee? It's kinda like that- it takes off layers 1(one) at a time and is very precise-leaving little or no scar and requires no stiches but is not effective in hair growing areas. 4 to 6 week recovery time. I hope this is useful information to you. I have VIN3 CIS SEVERE DYSPLASIA - and am planning to have this done in area nearest clitoris and surgery for the rest as mine is quite large but I have found that ANYTHING I CAN UNDERSTAND-I CAN DEAL WITH! Here's hoping all the best for all of you (and me)!
